People mainly get enrolled in a college or university to achieve the necessary education and degree they require to get a job or to build a career. Having a good career is one of the main reasons people spending their time in colleges or universities but there are other reasons as well. The current society and educational structure is far different than it had been a century back when a self-educated person could gain a good career and parents could arrange private tutors to ensure their children's education. But in today's world colleges and universities are the authority to declare a person to have necessary education to be ready for the job sector and without the certification from colleges and universities it is almost impossible for someone to claim a good job.

People are going to colleges and universities because this is the most common way of getting education and they have no alternatives like the people of past century had. Most people are learning in colleges and universities and getting themselves ready for the future. The sole purpose of a college or university is to ensure the proper theoretical and moral education to build the ideal citizens the country needs and this is system which is unquestionably accepted by the society and people. People who do not have plan to use their certificate to get a job either because they have other career plans or may be blessed with inherited fortune. They go to these educational institutes to learn the values, ideas, knowledge and education they require to be good human. In fact education is a border line between a savage and a good man and this is another reason the society has adopted the idea of education for all and the colleges and universities are the places to get this education in the current age.

Some people go to universities to get further education to enhance their horizon or to improve their job position & salary. Others go to the colleges and universities to let the world know that they are education. Funny this may seems, but many people simply consider the higher education as the status they require to get higher in the society. Colleges and Universities nowadays offer specialized courses like technical courses or creative courses and many people attend those courses simply because of their pure interests on these subjects or to gain the knowledge they need.

In my opinion, getting education, learning new things, experiencing diverse cultures and customs, getting prepared for the future career, improving job position, subject matter interests and social status are the main reasons for people to attend colleges and universities.

A University offers highest level of education as well as valuable degree required for the students to build their careers. University degrees are essential for the job market, to be versed in a specialized field or to be prepared for the further educations. People attend colleges or universities for lots of different reasons. In my opinion three most common reasons for people to join a college or a university are to prepare for a prospective career, to have new experiences, and to increase their knowledge. But there are some other reasons like improving the current job position, to be specialized in a specific subject, to earn a degree to join a job or run a business etc.

Career preparation is probably the primary and most important reason for people to attend colleges and universities. A college or university degree gives more opportunity to have a full-time and stable job. In comparison a university degree holder is offered a better job that pays better than others. The job market is very competitive now a day compared to any other time in past. Careers such as telecommunication, information technologies etc. need many new employees. At colleges and universities, students can learn new skills for these careers and increase their opportunities for the future. In the whole academic years, the students learn not only the theory but also practical aspects for their future job needs. The universities prepare a structured and coherent syllabus for the students and without these experience and knowledge it is almost impossible for anyone to make himself prepared for the job and the knowledge he/she required for the specified job position.

Students also go to colleges or universities to have new experiences. For many, it is their first time away from home and they have to live among strangers. At colleges, they meet new people from many different places, races and cultures. They can see what life is from a different perspective. They can learn to live on their own and take care of them without having their family always nearby. The students have lots of opportunities to face the real-life situations while staying at a college or university. They learn to face the harsh situation, learn to treat the superiors, learn how to work to gain a desired aspiration, learn to work as a team member and many more. In short, colleges and universities offers so many different experiences that a student cannot get from anywhere else.

At colleges and universities, students have the opportunity to increase their knowledge about technology, art, history, about themselves and outer world which are impossible to achieve staying outside the campus. As they decide what they want to study, pursue their studies, and interact with their classmates, they learn a lot about themselves. They also, of course, have the opportunity to learn about many subjects in their classes. In addition to the skills and knowledge related to their career, college students also have the chance to take classes in other areas. For many, this will be their last chance to study different subjects. Colleges offer much more than career preparation.

They offer the opportunity to have new experiences and to learn many kinds of things.

Many job holders, housewives even businessmen get themselves admitted into universities or colleges for a diploma courses. These courses are essential in many different perspectives, like: to learn a new technology (for example: Computer related diplomas), to train up for a new career (for example: photography courses), or to make them ready for more challenging jobs (for example: MBA in Agriculture). I think all these are major reasons why people attend colleges and universities.

Every human being with an ambitious of getting higher knowledge requires attending colleges or universities. The main reason of attending universities or colleges may differ man to man. Someone may aspire to achieve greater knowledge, someone may just want to earn a certificate or someone might attribute it as a step towards career development.

Whatever the reason people refer to attend universities - I would like to elaborate it as a step which is necessary for career development to grasp a required level of knowledge. I believe more or less people attend universities or colleges to gain knowledge. In university level people scatters in different groups for different subject areas of studies. Someone selects science someone selects arts. Every human being has their own selection base to get their assumed knowledge which is mandatory to accomplish their ultimate goal in career development. University or college provides a new level of experience which develops self-actualization and confidence in human being as we know the proverb, "knowledge is power". Knowledge gives us strength and endows with skills that mold our future for betterment. People usually select their career path before entering university or college courses, for example an aspirant doctor selects medical subject as university course and therefore they join medical college.

Similarly a future entrepreneur joins business school to study business in university level. I would like to elaborate before enrolling in universities or colleges we decide our future goal. Once our future goal is set we thrive to achieve it. I would like to illustrate whatever the reason people may attributes with university selection, it is always refers to achieving new experience, knowledge or a process to start a career. Well, it is sometime different for few people who has different ambitions but studying different subject matter unrelated to their goals. People attend universities and colleges for further education to ensure their job promotions. There are no alternatives to the colleges and universities to get higher degrees and thus people attend there to get the education

they need to secure jobs. Interest is a subject is another reason people go to the higher educational institutes.

Sometime few people attend universities as a tradition which has been referred as mandatory by society or family. A mere certificate is enough for them rather a means of gaining greater knowledge. Though, it is a rare case which represent a niche segment but as a whole we human being usually attend university or college as a hope of achieving greater understanding, new skill so that we can construct a good career in future. At the end it is essential to pronounce that whatever the reason we believe behind attending universities or college's maximum people take it as a step towards a better future to educate ourselves with knowledge.

College education is a highly revered benchmark around the world. In many countries, without a college level degree, a citizen is not considered eligible for state jobs. People attend colleges for many reasons but career preparation is the most important goal among them.

Most students enroll in colleges for bright career prospects and they study professional and job oriented courses. If achieved successfully with threshold scores, these courses increase industrial employability of learners by training them with the skills industries need. For example, many companies organize direct campus selection programs in colleges, offering professional courses, to hire ready to utilize resources with rewarding salary packages. To add to this, in many cases, based on education, employees get different remuneration for the exact same job, and college education degrees play pivotal roles in accelerating promotion processes too.

On the other hand, in addition to scintillating future career opportunities, university educ ation also offers many new experiences. These experiences include migration to new countries, befriending new people, working while studying, and, most importantly, learning to adjust with people. If we take a look at foreign students' data across Europe, it is eminent that around 20 % students in Universities are from Asian countries. These experiences burgeon adaptability skills to pursuers and help in turning future paradigm citizens.

Some people also attend higher university courses to enhance knowledge. Students under this section mostly pursue challenging master and doctorate degrees in their fields. Most of these

learners turn researchers and help the progress of the world. Some governments offer enticing whooping packages to the best minds to convince latter to select this study stream.

Finally, considering all reasons to attend colleges or universities, it is clear that the paramount reason is career growth. However, 'gaining new experiences' and 'enhancing knowledge' are also prodigious reasons.

All the human beings are of different nature and similarly their interests are not the same. A few love to sing while others like to listen the music. Same way people attend the colleges and universities have different respective prospective or purposes. Mainly people go to such places for their better career which dramatically affect their future life, to gain the knowledge and to be a good human being, while some attend colleges for enjoyment and to get rid of their homes. But I feel that Colleges and universities should be regarded as a place of worship which give us sense of good living, spread knowledge and enlighten our life from darkness. First of all, if we discuss about rich parent's youngsters, most of them come to the colleges for their time pass and making ruckus in college. All the day they make havoc everywhere. Study is just a trivial matter for them. They have no worries about money wastage or future scope. Hence such students get enrolled in colleges for their own willingness to fulfil their ambitions of entertainment etc., but it never means that all are alike. If we look on other side of the coin, there are some students who are even not able to fill their college fee due to lack of sources but they are dedicated to learn and work hard. They want to study hard to become a successful person. Such students attend the colleges and universities for studying mainly, because they just focus on their motto of life. Enjoyment and other activities are meager to them.

Secondly , another type of students are their which we can say in middle class family students which can be of mixed behavioural response regarding admission in colleges as either for making friends , fun and study also. By participating in different college events they can fill their life with enthusiasm and charm, because they are totally not focused for only study or totally for enjoyment. Hence they are involved in overall college or university atmosphere. On the behalf of above, it did not mean that these particular types of students are liable strictly to respective activities in colleges but majority of them are in such manner. In the end we can conclude that colleges and universities are for social and individual wellbeing of all. They help to build our character. Every student can get the characters of bonhomie, candid behaviour, bright
